Demonstrating at the Palladium Mall by Senseis Molly and Trishala

11th January 2020

The high-end Palladium Mall, adjacent to Phoenix City Mall, organised a multi-cultural morning, exclusively for women.  The event was organised by Glass Box, an Event Management Company.  They presented different activities like artistic Ikebana, creative zentangles, nail art,  calligraphy etc. All these various activities went on at the same time, in the large common area of the mall, near the Food Court.  Separate space was allocated for each activity with nice tables and comfortable chairs.
While few participants registered early whereas others just walked in.  Altogether we had 10 participants.

Both sensei were helped efficiently by Ms Luna Bose 


The Ikebana demonstration was in two sessions of one hour each. Sensei Molly started the first one,  with one Freestyle composition mainly to attract the passers by.


This attracted the attention of few more passersby who walked in.


Sensei Molly then demonstrated three basic lessons. 

Towards the end, she demonstrated one more free style arrangement.
Then sensei Trishala took over.





After demonstrating a few lesson arrangements, se also demonstrated freestyle artistic ikebana.

The event was a big success.  Two participants showed keen interest to learn further. In fact, one of the persons, attended both sessions! They were given the pamphlet detailing the activities of Sogetsu Ikebana Chapter in Chennai.

It has been a busy January for our senseis!!
